Snapshots Spillover: More W-onderful Places

More places beginning with W, following on from this week's Snapshots.

Let's start where Alice ended up... no, not in a Big Country.

Next we go to the current World Capital of Corruption and Idiocracy...

The Magnetic Fields – Washington DC

Hopefully that won't always be the case... though there is a worry that Michael Martin Murphey might be correct...

Michael Martin Murphey – The Wild West Is Going To Get Wilder

And back home to a Country whose name appears in far too few song titles...

The Wedding Present - Wales

Drive East from there and you might end up here...

The Capital Letters - Wolverhampton

Or even here...

Go Kart Mozart - West Brom Blues

And if you were going South East, you could be going towards...

Bleech – The Worthing Song

And on the way, you might call in here..

The Candy Skins - Wembley

Just don't stop at the services - they charge a fortune!

Roy Harper - Watford Gap

Meanwhile... yesterday, Andy Bell sang us a lovely song about Weston-Super-Mare. Just be grateful I chose that rather than...

The Wurzels - Sunny Weston-Super-Mare

Now before we head back across the pond, how about a word about one of the oldest cities in northern Europe?

Porridge Radio - Worms

Ask Walter if you don't believe me.

So then, we finish our travels back in "the land of the free"... although these guys are from Melbourne, so what do they know about it?

The Lucksmiths - Wyoming

Now Winnemucca is clearly the best place name beginning with W. Sadly, I couldn't find any songs about it... but Richmond Fontaine did name a whole after after it.

Richmond Fontaine - Out Of State (from Winnemucca)

Then there's Waco, a town famous for its infamous siege... 

The Indelicates - Something's Goin' Down In Waco

Although other things have happened there.

Ethel Cain – Waco, Texas 

Charley Crockett – The Man From Waco

I had to finish today back in Canada though. Not exactly the best tune you'll hear today... but definitely the best song title.
